I chuckled right away when I read this post. My 6 day old NRB coupe is also dirty, and my second wife would have laughed if I washed it in the cold overcast. But we got divorced for unfunny reasons, and that is probably why I have a 7th generation Corvette. BTW my neighbors just spent 2 days powerwashing their driveway, so I'm going to ask them if I can park my car on it, after I wash it. Hope someone besides OP can see the humor in this post.

It was clearly humor by the OP. Some couldn't discern that.

Sarcasm fails here, too, so sarcastic humor (see post #1) doesn't have a chance in Hell.

Humor does often fail here, but this wasn't funny to start with.

Words on a screen and not knowing the person, not seeing or hearing inflections in the tone of what was said is life on the internet with sarcastic comments. Best to indicate that the comment was said in jest.
